Even he did that there's no way in hell he'd rank in the top 200 players at that position. Same with FB, RB and pretty much every other position he could conceivably switch to. You can't just switch positions four years into your NFL career and expect to compete with players who have played that positon their entire lives.

Not true, Antonio Gates never played football in College, and yet he turned out a pretty damn good career so far at TE.

forget about Tebow though, I feel like this is the much bigger news to come from the NFL today

Did Gates spend his first three NFL seasons at QB before switching to TE? I didn't say that no one in the history of the NFL has successfully changed positions or succeeded at a position they had little experience at. My point was that if Tebow changed positons, he'd have little chance of making an NFL roster let alone seeing the field. I don't see how Antonio Gates' hall of fame career has anything to do with that point.

That would be great television. Sadly though Hard Knocks just primarily focuses on rookies and second year players. Plus I don't see any situation where Bilichick would allow Hard Knocks cameras in his locker room.

Re: NFL Time

From what I've been reading, he'll study some of the TE position but mostly QB. If he's third string, it'll be no pressure for him and he can just develop like he should have been doing. I don't see him making the 53 man roster but it's basically a free try out for Belichick so why not. The guy DOES have talent. I don't know how and where that will translate in the NFL though.

Re: NFL Time

It is amusing that if this somehow works, it's example #3452 of why Bill Belichick and the Krafts are genius, but that if it fails, all the Tebow haters will get their yuks in, but no one will fault the Patriots.

NORTH ATTLEBORO -- Authorities are refusing to comment on a media report that Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been questioned by State Police in connection to a death investigation here.

Troopers were seen escorting a woman into Hernandez’s home at about 7:35 tonight at the upscale Westford Estates development here.

SI.com, citing unnamed sources, reported earlier today that State Police had questioned Hernandez in connection with a probe into the discovery of a body on Monday night in an industrial yard in town, but he is not considered a murder suspect.

A State Police spokesman could not confirm tonight that troopers had questioned Hernandez.

The Patriots, Hernandez’s agent, the Bristol district attorney’s office, and local police all refused to comment Tuesday.

Re: NFL Time

This is a big deal in New England too. This is so ridiculous. Putin is a dick. I went to college with Bob's son and hung out with their family a few times. There is NO WAY he "gave" Putin that ring. Next to his family the things he loves most are football and money.
